Proverbs chapter 9 verse 10

the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

and the knowledge of the holy one is in. is the

insight. Now this is how we started in Proverbs chapter 1 verse 7

realizing that wisdom begins with worship, that worship, fear of God, reverence for God, living in awe of God with a God centered perspective on all of life is the

beginning of wisdom.

Proverbs 9, 10 is saying the same thing again, so a reminder to us in our lives,

wisdom flows from worship.

And then I just love the second part of this first

that says the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Oh what a beautiful

phrase for those who want insight to be able to have proper perspective on our lives and proper understanding of

different circumstances in our lives, different decisions we make in our lives, and just to see rightly in the world around us.

Where does that come from?

It comes from knowledge of the Holy One.

It comes from knowledge of God, knowing God. I think about

Jeremiah chapter 9 verses 23 and 24 and specifically its relationship to wisdom.

Listen to these words, Jeremiah 923, thus says the Lord,

let not the wise man boasts in his wisdom,

like the wisdom he thinks he has, let not the mighty man boast in his might, like the might he thinks

he has, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts, boasts in this that he understands and knows me.

That he understands and knows me.
